...Gorgeous Sunday...

I hope that you are getting to get out and take advantage of the fine
weather on this late winter Sunday afternoon. Temperatures were
warming through the 60s across Central Alabama. A few spots will
flirt with 70 degrees before the day is over. Under fair skies
overnight, readings will drop into the upper 40s.

EARLY WEEK STORM SYSTEM: The next player in our weather is already
on the stage, to the west over Arizona. The huge upper trough will
swing eastward over the coming week. We will begin to feel the
effects of a tightening pressure gradient during the day on Monday, as
a surface low starts to organize over the Texas Panhandle as our winds
freshen out of the southeast. Readings on Monday will soar into the
middle 70s making for a very pleasant day. Clouds will be on the
increase Monday night, with temperatures bottoming out in the middle
50s. By Tuesday morning, low pressure will be located to our
northwest. A warm front may trigger a round of showers and storms
during the morning hours, and storms will be possible during the day.
But the main action will come Tuesday night a powerful line of storms
moves toward Alabama. There will be tremendous atmospheric dynamics,
but the wild card will be instability. So, once again, the prospects
of another middle of the night severe weather scenario. When will it
end?

REST OF THE WEEK: Showers and storms will be ending from the west
Wednesday morning as the cold front sweeps through the state. A
little lingering light rain and cloudiness will hang tough on
Wednesday afternoon with steady or falling temperatures. Thursday
will feature high pressure building into Alabama and the Southeast,
giving fine conditions through Saturday. Finally, a Friday night
without a hazardous weather threat. The next weather maker for
Alabama will be a developing low pressure system that will begin to
influence our weather by Sunday, with more rain and thunderstorms.

DROUGHT UPDATE: While not gone, the drought situation is certainly
slowly improving. Now 4.2% of the state is under Exceptional (D4)
drought conditions. This is down from 49.2% three months ago. 34.1%
of the state is in D3-D4 (extreme-exceptional) drought conditions,
which is down from 76.1% at the start of October. 69.0% of the state
is now considered to be in a drought, which is down from 95.4% at the
beginning of October. Only the southern quarter of the state is
spared that designation right now.

ON THIS DATE IN 1942: A widespread outbreak of tornadoes occurred
across Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, Illinois, and
Indiana. Twenty five tornadoes were of F2 intensity or greater.
Seventy five fatalities occurred in Mississippi. Baldwyn, Mississippi
was hit by 2 tornadoes (one F4 and the other F3) only 35minutes
apart. A family of F4 tornadoes that tore through the Mississippi
Delta killed at least 63 people. Many of the injured were taken to
the hospital in Grenada, which was barely missed by another tornado a
couple of hours later. A violent (F5) tornado tore through Peoria and
Marshall Counties in Illinois, killing 7 and injuring seventy.
